Vacation--Day 4

Spaulding: Strange thing about vacations---they’re taken to relax, but you spend so much time running all around! Beary exhausting!
Teddy: Beary! So exhausting the rest of our family is in the other room sleeping on Mommy’s bed!
Spaulding: Vacationing at the Jersey shore in late August is beary crowded!
Teddy: BEARY crowded!
Spaulding: But then comes the weekend and it makes the week look isolated!
Teddy: If we stayed at the beach we would have been stepped on by someone eventually!
Spaulding: Probably more then once!
Teddy: We left our stuff at the campsite, and then headed over to Wheaton Village. Wheaton Village is a craft place where they blow glass…
Spaulding: since 1888!
Teddy: into all sorts of pretty things, like vases, and paperweights and pitchers and plates!
Spaulding: It’s in Millville, which is like right in the middle of south Jersey.
Teddy: To learn more about it, click here!
Spaulding: New Jersey is known for its glassmaking, because most of the state is really just a beary, beary large sand barge…
Teddy: And glass is made out of sand!
Spaulding: And we went during its summer exhibit of “New Jersey Glass Exhibits.”
Teddy: We watched the “gaffer” blow glass and talked to one after the show.
Spaulding: And they have other artists there too like a tinsmith, and people who molded clay, …
Teddy: And the kids loved the train ride on the half gauged train!
Spaulding: Kids? I loved it! The conductor let us drive the train, since he saw our heliplaneship boxcar!
Teddy: He figured if we could drive that, we could drive anything!
Spaulding: And he was right!!!
Both: kehehehehehehe
Teddy: Since Wheaton Village is set in the woods, we invited our good friend, Sarah,…
Spaulding: This made Ding happy!
Both: kehehehehehehe
Teddy: to go with us and have a picnic!
Spaulding: They have picnic tables there!
Teddy: And, because it’s rained so much this month, we were allowed to have a pretend fire!
Spaulding: Once we got to talking to the gaffers though, they let us take our hotdogs on the sticks and roast them quickly in the furnace!
Teddy: Really quickly! You have to make the fire beary, beary hot to melt glass!!!!
Spaulding: So, we didn’t get back to our campsite until late afternoon.
Teddy: Plenty of time for a nice long nap before heading to the boardwalk!
Spaulding: The kids were a bit bored with the same rides though…
Teddy: So we decided to go swimming at night instead!
Spaulding: No lifeguards around, but we are Teddy Bears, so don’t swim so far from shore that we can’t touch the bottom!
Teddy: We’re so short that we’re only in the water half the time anyway!
Both: kehehehehehehe
Spaulding: Yeah, we can’t get past where the waves break!
Teddy: And since the kids are so much shorter then even we are, they actually think the whole ocean is always fizzling!
Both: kehehehehehehe
Spaulding: Sounds like we made a good choice in moving upstate a bit from Cape May!
Teddy: Yeah! Last night Cape May was the only place in New Jersey to have a thunderstorm!
Spaulding: Still. I like watching a thunderstorm!
Teddy: Yeah, but I don’t know how waterproof our blankets are, even when they are Scotchgarded!
Spaulding: Definitely better to watch them from the safety of our enclosed porch at home!
Teddy: Definitely!
Spaulding: Well, it’s nap time! Gotta go!
Teddy: Until next time…
